Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Chronological order means arranging events according to the sequence in which they occurred historically. To solve such questions correctly, we must know the exact years of important events of the Indian National Movement.

Step 1: Identify the year of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.
The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre took place on: \[ 13 \text{ April } 1919 \] General Dyer ordered firing on a peaceful gathering at Amritsar, leading to the death of hundreds of innocent people. Thus, this is the earliest event among the given options.

Step 2: Identify the year of Non-Cooperation Movement.
The Non-Cooperation Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in: \[ 1920 \] The movement encouraged Indians to boycott British institutions, schools, courts, and foreign goods. Thus, this event occurred after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.

Step 3: Identify the year of Civil Disobedience Movement.
The Civil Disobedience Movement began in: \[ 1930 \] It started with Gandhi's famous Dandi March against the British salt laws. Hence, this event occurred after the Non-Cooperation Movement.

Step 4: Identify the year of Quit India Movement.
The Quit India Movement was launched in: \[ 1942 \] This movement demanded immediate independence from British rule and gave the slogan: \[ \text{``Do or Die''} \] Thus, this is the latest event among the given options.

Step 5: Arrange all events in proper chronological order.
Therefore, the correct chronological sequence is: \[ 1919 \rightarrow 1920 \rightarrow 1930 \rightarrow 1942 \] Hence: \[ 4 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow 1 \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A)\ 4,2,3,1} \]
